おしゃべりコップ・Chattering Cup
川崎氏の本、P211におしゃべりコップを見つけたとき、2005年の悲しい体験を思い出しました。PCOC(Pacific Coast Origami USA Conference)の折図作成に、少しばかりお手伝いをした際、諸々の予期せぬ事情から、鈴木恵美子さんの作「おしゃべりコップ」の折図に大きなミスが生じたまま、折図集が作成されてしまったことです。
もちろん、川崎氏の折図は正しい折図で、鈴木さんが望んでおられる茶目っ気のある唇に仕上がります。

When I found Japanese creator, Emiko Suzuki's "Chattering Cup" in Kawasaki's new book, it reminded me of an unpleasant experience back in 2005 when I volunteered to help with Pacific Coast Origami USA Conference's (PCOC) origami book. Although we diligently worked together as volunteers, an unexpected mistake in the directions for "Chattering Cup" was overseen and incorrectly published. For this reason, I was very happy to see that the correct directions were published in
幸い、日米言語にて、このブログを書くようにしましたので、左の折図集を持っておられる方は、作者から訂正の手紙を頂いたものを、ここに掲載しますので、どうぞ、正しい折り方を学んでください。折図集P102 Chattering Cupを開いてください。
Now that I started writing my blog in English and Japanese, I want to take this opportunity to inform everyone of Ms. Suzuki's corrections so that everyone knows the right directions. If you have this book, please open page 102 and note these following corrections I received from Ms. Suzuki:
[Step 2] Should not fold, just make a pinch mark.
Do not make a crease all the way to the end.
[Step 9] When making the crease, stop at the center (at the top of the mountain shape).
[Step 10] Please stop the crease at the center, as in Illustration 9 on the upper lip.
(The illustration for this step is missing!)
[Step 11] Do not change the lip shape. The upper lip should not be rounded.
[Step 12] Do not illustrate the edge of the lip as a rounded shape;
the same mistake as Illustration 11.
[Step 13] Do not make a vertical line on the upper layer paper (this will be lower lip).
[Step 14] Please add this explanation on the illustrations as follows:
Make a vertical line, but only on the upper lip
-The upper lip will look real if you make a vertical line
-Because right now, the lips look very crooked, and seems as if the person is mad.
